Neg. Leonen belongs to the Office of Presidential Adviser on Peace Process (OPAPP), the government agency that is dedicated on the conduct of Peace Process Activities (PPA). Miscommunication and misencounters happen in the ground because of LACK OF PPA PARTICIPATION of the MILF Ground Commanders and AFP Officers. The players are not as educated as the negotiator. Reason: OPAPP have P250M funds for PPA, but instead of spending it on PPA, they use the money for dole-out housing projects.
Ang problema, the KNOWLEDGE about the specific mechanisms and operational guidelines of the ceasefire agreements DOES NOT flow down to the grounds, both in the case of MILF and also in the AFP. Si top-level negotiator lang ang knowledgeable, yung mga nagpapatayan sa ibaba walang ka-alam-alam dyan sa mga pinagsasabi nya. Bakit nagka-ganun? Kasi, hindi gumagastos sa proactive communication and advocacy program ang OPAPP, that should be participated in by the key players in the ground.
